Above is the map of how far Queendom Website has traveled,
nice for MacSoph and me, but doubly nice because it shows that needlework is indeed alive and well right round the world.
In my next life...
Here is who I want to be.
Isn't he beautiful?
My only problem with turning into him:
I dont want to be a man.

Drawn Thread Sampler Instructions are 142 pages long.
In addition there are layout pages and reference pages for the Doodle Sampler. --without promising I've added acurately (because of title pages etc.) the whole thing is 161 pages long. It gets squished into a priority envelope.

Drawn Thread Sampler
This sampler of mine is from long ago, so long ago that it qualifies as vintage.
A large cutwork sampler, not the
easiest project to stitch, therefore
not for the novice stitcher.
Above, the smaller 'doodle' sampler on linen. The techniiques are the same,
the layout is included with the instructions for the big sampler. Difficulty level is the same, just less of it.
On Left: Here is an idea for practice:
work the center of Drawn Thread Sampler for practice,
then add a two-tone border around it as illustrated on the left, maybe of a Scotch Stitch variation.
Hint for setting up the design: figure out the size, then work a row of the border FIRST to set it up; then work the center, then finish the border.
Please note: these instructions are hand drawn and 30 years old. I know they work because there have been many finished Drawn Thread Samplers, but they are not as finished looking as my instructions today. Again, a caution: Long, involved and difficult and not recommended for the novice stitcher.
